I have three separate addresses that when I set up, I used File | Identity |
Add New Identity. Each one asked for me to choose a password when setting up
the account. Not very long ago, I needed the PW for one of the accounts and
had forgotten it. I called Cox, and once they were sure of who I was, they
told me the password.

Maybe some ISPs don't know, or tell you they don't know as a security
provision for the user, but Cox knows the OE passwords for all of their
customers.

I hope they don't know my MS Outlook Express password. That is a local
password.

The last time I called tech support about an account issue (not email,
but), they did _not_ know my password. The only way I can fix a password
issue with my ISP is to ask them for a password reset. They generate a
new password, then send it to me.
